BenQ - TK850 Home Theater Projector

Running a BenQ TK-850 that we have been Very happy with. 110" Silver Ticket fixed screen; about 9.5ft viewing distance; projector is mounted overhead - probably 10.5 ft back. Disclaimers: 1) Have had multiple BenQ DLPs over the years: don't "see" rainbows, and like the color output. 2) This unit was installed - and has been Calibrated - by someone who Knows What They Are Doing (not DIY...). 3) The person who did the install / calibration is currently running a BenQ W2720i, on a 120" Silver Ticket fixed screen. I have seen that unit running on a 100" as well as his current 120" screen, and in various states of "tune" (calibration / settings). If (when...?) the TK-850 failed, the W2720i would Immediately become my "Standard of Comparison" when shopping for a replacement. To be fair, the 2720i IS more expensive up front (exceeds $2k, at least at list) - but it also does NOT use a traditional Lamp, which ought to help offset the initial cost over a reasonable life span. Best of Luck in your search. EDIT: Corrected reference projector model to "W2720i" to fix incorrect "W1720i" in original. Thanks for Jred... for catching this!

I have an Epson 3200 and Benq TK850 I’m looking to sell if you’re considering second hand. No issues with either. Bought the Epson to use while the TK850 is at Benq getting a new DMD installed then decided to buy a Benq x3100i because I game a lot.

Looks great. Got a mate with benq 4K projector and The feeling playing at 130 inch screen is amazing. This nebula projector looks even better. Enjoy!

I would go projector without a question. I have a BenQ 4k model and 120" screen and the movie watching is so much better.

Yes, still have the TV behind the drop down screen. Don't know why, barely use it since the projector has been in. Hard to go back from full immersive experience. BenQ 4K (few years old now, get many hours of each globe).
